Is Trump's epic downfall coming soon? Watch your phone
Are you one of the millions of Americans facing a new and sickening peril? Its called home screen fatigue, and its what happens when the relentless firehose of Trump-stabbed news alerts seem to turn your device into a single-minded spigot of misery and moral dread, interspersed with the weather.
As someone working in (well, near) MSM for nearly two decades, Im probably more of a glutton than most: I currently allow more than a dozen news and culture outlets to throw alerts onto my iPhones home screen, from the NYT to WaPo, Slate to Apple News, and I can fully attest: reaching for the thing every morning has become a bit like inhaling a fistful of broken glass for your first morning yawn. And thats before I open my Twitter feed. Holy god.
Its easy to feel trapped, crushed, overwhelmed. It is easy to wish to avoid the frantic, newly supercharged media entirely, going so far as to turn it all off and go play in the woods lest your soul shrivel into a numb raisin of quivering dread.
Heres my advice: Dont do it. Not completely. Not just yet. Because you might miss something good. Really good.
Like, say, #RussiaGate. Like, say, the biggest and most fantastically uproarious, devastating scandal in all of American political history, the moment when it all comes crashing down and Trump and his cronies are led away in handcuffs to die in prison. Its going to be a grand ol party indeed, and it could happen, quite literally, any minute.
